When you say over one year of work, do you mean one year of manpower (aka ~2000 hours) or that you started it about a year ago?
For the CE release, I deleted the Git history (it became too difficult to deal with branch rewrites trying to remove all the cruft and deployment secret keys etc).
But the actual current working repo for the non-free version has ~ 2400 commits[0]. And the repo that I forked that from (~ 7 months ago), I'd closed 238 issues, and the repo I forked that project from I closed 200 issues. Those previous repos are all my work built from the ground up within this last ~12 months as well. The current working repo has closed 124 issues.
My Gitlab contribs for the last year are at: https://gitlab.com/dosycorp
And it's actually a little bit over 1 year, and if I count the Gitlab contribs show there, it's over 5500.
So, yeah it's been about 2000 hours I think. Working full time every week day and most weekends, and often longer than regular hours (but also dividing the work up in the day into sprints because that's how I manage myself to work best).
It's definitely been a year.
I dig your dedication! You well earned to be on the front page!
Who do you see as the main target audience? And do you have a business model in mind?
Main audience is people and organizations who are having problems with malware and cyber attacks.
Business model I am still working on, but it's a mishmash of licensing (+ maintenance, for hybrid / on-prem) and pay per seat (for cloud-based). Could be other ways to provide value.
What's your background? I'm open to new ideas.
this sounds like (almost) everyone
